Introduction[edit | edit source]
The anatomy of the canine spine is almost similar to the human spine. The spine of the canine also supports weight and encloses the spinal cord. The spine is located along the dorsal/top side of the canine's body and runs from the base of the head to the end of the tail. [1]
The canine spine is divided into five regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal. There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 13 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 3 sacral vertebrae and the number of caudal vertebrae varies according to the species.[2]
